A linear resistance
A) increases with increasing voltage.
B) decreases with increasing voltage.
C) does not change with increasing voltage.
D) is effectively nonlinear in a Thevenin circuit.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A linear resistance is one that follows Ohm's Law, which states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points. Therefore, a linear resistance does not change with increasing voltage. Option A is incorrect because resistance does not increase with voltage. Option B is incorrect because resistance does not decrease with voltage. Option D is incorrect because a linear resistance is effectively linear in any circuit, including a Thevenin circuit.
